lyrics

Particles floating in the air as my hands sweeping for a presence
Could you please glance down cause I can no more stand, and would you stop these pulses ?
They've ran into my ears and to my head and to my bones
They've shaking up my whole being for years and years
So now please let me reach for your hand but don't take a look at me
I feel so old and different, from the man of word I used to be

Now don't lie, you know I ain't gonna be alright, cause you know I won't!

And I've been so blinded so alone
Then a stranger picked me by the arm and pushed me back to reality
To where I was moving mountains
To where my will's just standing proudly, to where I was unstoppable
To where my silk would have changed this all

Cause you know my pendulum swings back and forth
There's never enough time
I'm begging for it to immobilize, I won't warn you and finally fade

Cause in here, peace of mind is prohibited
Sleep's out of reach and all these presences
Constant reminders of how hard playing our part is
An whole ocean stands between all that I should've told you, but this anger and these anchors made me lose creativity

But how dare you judge me?
How dare you say that I don't belong?
And how did you let this be?
How does this negativeness forged who you used to be?
And how can you blame people when all you do is just distress surviving?
Tell me when does your self respect just got away?
And does perfection exist?
Well I'll never know
Hey don't look away, we're just getting started
Know that people always leave, you're no exception at all
But where I am going there's no sadness no feeling at all
And I ain't coming back
Staring straight at the eyes of my own reflection
